I love this so much! Every episode features a science and miscellaneous topic. I find myself completely invested. There is a feel of chatting with your buddies. The science is accessible even if you don't have background knowledge. My degree is in a science field(geology) and the topics related to my degree are still enriching and offer insight. 5/5 give it a try.

Let's make learning fun!
